Bugs on the breakfast. Mold in the shower. Air conditioning smelled bad. Beds too hard, we were all sore from sleeping. Staff very helpful to call for taxi and get extra pillows, etc.

Rooms were nicely appointed. We had a window right over the street but couldn't hear anything if window was closed. AC worked amazing since we were there during a heat wave. Near the train station and easily walkable to most major sites. Many great restaurants within a block. Free Breakfast was typical European style. Would stay there again.

Amazing hotel in the center of Rome. A couple blocks from the train station. Easy walk to many of Rome’s attractions. Spacious rooms and air conditioning. The added breakfast was terrific and delicious. Friendly front desk staff and smooth process. Highly recommend for visitors.

The hotel is still in renovation. We got a renovated room, simple but nice. Bed was comfortable but hard (to my taste). Staff very helpful and nice. Breakfast is ok, not much choice but good. For the price, I would return any time.

This hotel is well located near the train station, shopping, and restaurants. It’s not in the best neighborhood but not terrible. The lobby is pleasant as was our room. The bed was a bit hard and uncomfortable. The bathroom was clean and spacious and the shower good. The breakfast was adequate with good coffee. The stairwell and elevator are old and run down which was the only real negative thing about the hotel. For the price and location, it suited our needs.

The hotel is very well located close to the terminal. They upgraded our rooms and we had plenty of space for a family of four. Breakfast was very good with eggs, fruits, ham and cheeses, pastries, yogurt, cereal the cappuccino was excellent. Air conditioner works perfectly.

The hotel was quiet and very convenient to train station. The lobby was shabby and curtains were falling off balances. Rooms were clean and more modern. You could tell they were recently renovated. Comfortable stay.

6/10 Good

Great location, but tech issues ruined the stay ​Hotel California has a fantastic location, making it easy to get around and explore. The property itself is an older hotel, but it's maintained well enough for its age. Breakfast in the morning was fine—nothing extraordinary, but decent options to start the day. ​Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi didn't work. Because I needed a reliable internet connection, we ultimately had to relocate to another hotel. If you just need a central spot to sleep and don't rely on Wi-Fi, it’s an okay choice, but the connectivity issues were a dealbreaker for me.

Conveniently located. Room was clean and very well serviced. Property looked like it was in the middle of being renovated. It needs it, as the decor must be 40 years old: needs updating (including converting the weird bath recess and in room hand basin, with separate toilet room into an enclosed ensuite. Breakfast was good. Staff were helpful.

Quick and easy check in and check out. Very nice staff interactions. Close to the Rome Terminal station which is accessed in less than 10 minutes. All major sites were walkable from this location 15-30 minutes. Room was good and clean. It is an older building so there was construction debris in some areas but did not affect us once in our room.
